The color is not a rich velvety black like the picture though, it is more like a matte black, and the gold hardware is more of a brushed brass color. The leather is also stiffer and more structures than the photo.

Still, it’s a very pretty bag and everyone liked it when I got it. I like how it zips the whole way open as it makes it easy to access!

I read some reviews saying that it is too big and deep for someone petite, but I think it looks fine on me. It is about the size of a Speedy 30 so not that big.
